Willow trees are beautiful, however I've heard that they love water so much, they hunt it out, so be careful not to plant near your or your neighbor's sewer lines. If there is ever even a very small underground break in the line, their roots will get in there and cause a big problem. This is more a problem for older homes with cast iron sewer lines because their joints are less secure than PVC.

Sounds like you have a lovely yard now. All you hard work is paying off!!!
